Default 2006 Mustang GT not starting properly
For some reason today i noticed it takes me a while to get the car started. I've not had this problem before but I have to keep the key cranked all the way for an extra second or two. In general it seems like starting is a little delayed. Also I haven't noticed this before but that little light shows up on the dash like when the car looses tracion.

Someone Help PLease!

Could it be bad gas?

The light coming on is suposed to it tells you that the traction control is working, and I believe it comes on when you disengage it. I would'nt think the gas would be the problem. Maybe give the system a good cleaning. Filter injector cleaner.

Try a can of Seafoam in the gas tank. Autozone carries it.

Does it matter if the seafoam is added before or after a fill up?

Doesn't matter but it should be added to a full tank of gas.
